Schnelle und einfache Half-Drop-Wiederholungsmuster mit Smart Actions in Adobe Illustrator

Apples, apples everywhere! :D Great job on this pattern! The light pink and blue flowers are a bit hard to see - it might help to lighten them even more so they pop. Just a suggestion though. It's very spring-y and cute!!

Hi Anne, I hope the start of 2023 is treating you well. Thank you for the suggestion. If I do anything with that pattern ever I will make the changes you mentioned. You are totally right about the colors having low contrast. I would tweak quite a bit if I were going to use it for anything.

Yes it is!! We just got back from a cruise to the Caribbean which was a nice break. I do love your pattern as-is, especially the apple seeds view! :D

Oh a Caribbean cruise sounds so relaxing. Glad you're refreshed.

Thank you - it was so nice to get away! :)

Your pattern is very cute. I love the combination of flowers.

Thank you so much. The flowers are just something I threw together.  Here are the basics in case your interested.  The little 5 petal flowers are just a 5 sided polygon with bloat applied to them. 

The larger flowers are rectangles with Perspective Distort making the bottom of the rectangle slightly thinner. I then applied a warp to the rectangle. I don't remember which one exactly.  After I warped them, I used repeat radial until I liked the look of the flower. The lines in the middle are just a line blend. 

I appreciate your kind words.

You are amazing! Thank you for sharing your process of how you made your flowers.

Sure thing Mia! I have no clue what level you're at when working in illustrator. It may be easy for you to create flower but maybe someone else will find it useful. All of the shapes in this pattern are  pretty basic. There really only 3 elements and probably no more than 7 shapes total. Again thank you for your kind words.

I no longer have illustrator, but I appreciated all the tips that you gave me :)

This is so cute! I love your perfect balance of elements and this scale is great for half-drop patterns :) Fabulous work!

Thank you Carrie. I enjoyed seeing your process. I love seeing other's process. Yours was very interesting. I enjoyed it immensely. Thank you for sharing your process with us.

My pleasure! I've found that my process saves me so much time, so I had to share it, and I'm delighted that you found the class helpful. Thank you so much for your review! That means a lot to me. Happy desigining! :)

Thanks Caroll. I love seeing other's work flow especially when it's pattern design.

I enjoyed getting to see your creative process for a half drop pattern. Thanks.
